Hi

We all know what we’ll be eating this time next week, so before turkey, nut roast and Christmas pudding fatigue sets in, seize the chance to sample something new and different. The Street Diner Night Market is taking place at the Brighthelm Centre from 7-11pm today and you’ll be able to sample food from across the globe. It’s free to get in and there’s music, a bar and the chance to buy gifts too.

Tomorrow night (Friday 19th) there’s community carol singing in Blaker’s Park from 6-7pm. Bring home-made lanterns and enjoy singing traditional carols, with music provided by local musicians. There’s no excuse not to sing along as you can download the words to the carols on www.blakerspark.org.uk/content/news/carols-and-mummers. There are tips there on how to make a lantern too.

One of the highlights of the city’s calendar, the fabulous Burning the Clocks, is taking place this weekend and for the first time there are events on both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday from 10am-3pm, there’s a free children’s play workshop at the Phoenix Gallery, followed by an effigy display outside St. Peter’s Church from 4pm to 7pm.
The main event takes place on Sunday night to coincide with the winter solstice. The parade starts in New Road at 6.30pm when around 2,000 people, many of them children, form a procession carrying their luminous lanterns. The evening ends with a fire show and fireworks. More info on www.samesky.co.uk/events/burning-the-clocks.

Finally, an enchanting seafront tradition continues in the lead up to Christmas Day. The Beach Hut Advent Calendar involves one of the city’s iconic huts opening up its doors to display the work of an artist who has created a festive scene. The event takes place each evening between 5.30pm-6.30pm. You can check a full list of which huts are taking part, but those on 19th, 20th and 21st of December are at beach hut 305, 1a (brick) and 79a respectively. For more details, visit www.beyondchurch.co.uk If you forget which one is opening, don’t worry - just follow the crowds along the prom!

A Merry Christmas to you and your family from the team at thebestof!
